Oh FFS come on man. Umpires call can work both ways. 

Huh? Yeah it does and I think it's a decent system. Just pointing out that the principle of umpiring is to give the decision when you are certain (or at least extremely confident) that it will be out. Kumar clearly wasn't sure and buckled to the pressure for which I don't blame him. Great bowling from Siraj but very unlucky for Overton.

I'm amazed he missed the edge for the wicket but lbw decisions in this environment need to be thought of excruciatingly! The other umpire for that Tongue one not so much lol

 

I don't think he buckled, think he just took longer than usual.

Wow bloody hell that's not out. 

Easily going down leg?

Case in point there. Awful decision but the umpire bottled it

Na, look at his face. It wasn't that of a man confident in his decision. As I say, not that it was wrong per se, it just goes against the principle of umpiring
